I added the wiki page that has set-ups for story card farming to the OP because that might be useful for people and there is some stuff in there no one would ever come up with on their own.

Just hearing who can do it is enough to figure the rest out.
Unless there's a specific card setup that you don't usually see, I usually can't be bothered to try that many permutations unless I'm really close

My favourite is the guy who is clearly a huge fan of Nue and really wants her to be useful so he made set-ups for multiple stages but they always say stuff like "oh btw you need to have +500 attack for this to maybe work all the time"

[Anonymous No.]

>>38918920
Technically yes but it is one of those super limited gacha only cards that no one will ever get 5 copies of until it becomes unlimited. That card isn't completely new though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38918457
Yeah it's interesting. Meanwhile https://東方ロストワード.com/?p=13300 has her ranked the same as EoSD Reimu.

The google doc tier list knocks her for mediocre support (hit and crit attack) and lack of breaks. While the nip tier list likes her access to "triple magnification" (buff + debuff + anomaly) and her high damage. Both lists agree that her damage is really good at 3P.

In regards to breaks she does have burn anomaly break at 2P on her focus shot and her skill places 2 burns on everyone, though that doesn't make up for her 2nd spellcard being completely non-elemental. That said, anything weak to sun will be utterly ruined by her last word. It'll be interesting to see how she handles in practice.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38919258
113 LW with only access to 2P by herself fucking sucks though

[Anonymous No.]

>>38919298
Yup, the list also knocks her for that. Her full solo damage is ranked high at -SS, which is better than the vast majority of the cast, but her turn 1 damage, while good, isn't anything amazing. Exact numbers were posted in the previous thread >>38899772

>>38922318
She is very good, good breaks on her spellcards and all of them are AoE except her LW. And her LW is 6 fire with getting the majority at 2P which she gets by herself.
Also Yin up + Yin down which helps the rest of the party.
But of the ones I have I feel like IN Reisen > EoSD Sakuya = EoSD Reimu
They all hit different elements so they're not all directly comparable obviously.

[Anonymous No.]

Thanks for your take, anon. Real experience >> tier list abstractions any day.

And yeah I'm kinda surprised at how good Reisen turned out to be. Kinda irritated that I didn't grab her. Guess the moral of the story is that a bunch of cheap breaks is guaranteed to be good.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38922318
>>38924967
Yeah, she's great. Elements on all her spellcard bullets and great skills. Especially like her party Yin atk up. Only "flaw" is getting evasion on Boost instead of something offensive.
>I'm kinda surprised at how good Reisen turned out to be
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the ZUNhus really. All of them have elements on most if not all of their spellcards bullets, and they've got all the latest powercreep skills. Reisen is just notable for being a good main story farmer, but at the same time she doesn't have useful party buffs.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38924967
I think the reason why Reisen feels so strong is because right after she released and as people were finishing building her up a bunch of content she excelled at got released.
The new chapter card could be solo farmed by her. She was the ace in the moon EX event. There's probably something else I forgot.

Her evasion is insane too, I had entire party wipe in tower and she just refused to die for 5-7 turns straight, without any barriers and on very low hp, she just kept dodging boss endlessly like a real trooper.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38964298
Retro Sakuya and Miko's horse have full fire LW and plenty fire elements on their other spells too. Red Marisa has plenty of fire, Okuu too. Hecatia has tons of fire and her LW and some of the highest damage possible. Poorhu only has fire elements. Even Mokou has fire on her regular shot. Kasen has a fire LW and does good damage. Koakuma has an ok number of fire breaks. There are so many characters with fire bullets, it is probably the most common element in the game. If you had all the characters from the jap version it would get even sillier.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38964558
I'd argue wood is more plentiful.
I skipped on almost all of those, however. Okuu doesn't actually seem to be too good since her fire attacks are solo, koakuma doesn't have that much range either. Mokou needs P for all fire damage on her regular shots and her spellcards need 3P for the second shot.
Guess I'll be skipping this challenge as well.

>>38961257
The 100 spark banners are for very mediocre units to please waifu players.

While I do believe the growth of the game has stagnated, I think it has a pretty solid user base so making tweaks to retain them sounds logical to me.

Push the F2P users too much and you will end up with large loses to the game userbase so tossing extra divine dolls entice them to stay while waiting for the next strong SFES seems fine.

To me LW global feels like a tweaked version of the game trying not to have too many dry spells like JP occasionally has. They will simply toss more retro 2hus and fan favorites every so often.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38976122
Ok, think of it like this.
You're not actually talking with the characters. They're dead and melted into a boiling pot of temperaments. If you've read each character's temperament, you'd realize they're kind of like the physical or natural manifestation or correlation to their personality I.E: "You're wild like a hurricane"
Now, due to youmu fucking the rules of nature up real good, everything's torn and temperaments are running wild, conglomerating into zones were similar temperaments gather. Since the 2hu's mind are also split up somewhere in that goop of blended nature, the free minds merge into these compatible temperaments and they together make a "body" which is what you've been talking to, but since they're all made up from blended goop, the body is actually a bunch of disordely temperaments and minds of similar individuals.
Here's where the writers have their fun, and this lets them pair 2hus up through unlikely means according to similar themes "these two 2hus like animals, these two are blond, these like dead babies."

A bunrei is a part of god that's split from itself so it can be worshipped at a far away shrine outside the one where the actual god is house. In that way, the "Bodies" you meet can split part of themselves, their bunrei, into other 2hus that are also part of the temperament blended goop that made them up.

In other words, Here's "Alice" but inside her there's also the mind of Medicine and Hina since they shared similar temperaments due to them all liking dolls. It's "Alice" but in reality it's not just Alice, but a chimera of minds and temperaments that looks like her.

I liked this plot, it's an interesting take into the game's take on temperaments, with a flavor of shinto mythology that's not unlike what ZUN does.

Same. These days most characters have built-in accuracy buffs, and even if they don’t you can pair them with someone who can support. Also story cards are so strong now that it’s painful to forgo what’s optimal. Probably better to brute force than use a phone.

Also this version of Miko was cool as FUCK

[Anonymous No.]

>>38976122
Sages are simply those that are responsible for the current order, and the world, being as fucked as it is, requires more sages to work to maintain it. Sages of the upper world feed life energy to the immature Saigyou Ayakashi through its leaves using the Arena while sages of the lower world feed energy through its roots from the vortex of temperaments.

More energy in the roots = The tree becomes the Saigyou Ayakashi (Bad End)
More energy in the leaves = The tree becomes something else (Better End, maybe)

It's not possible to supply enough energy through the leaves in the upper world using only the Arena before Yuyuko removes the seal on the Saigyou Ayakashi. Therefore, Miko's plan was to to replace Yuyuko's body with her own after resurrecting as a living god and prevent the supply of energy to the roots indefinitely. These are the functions of the sages of that world, but they operate without knowing that the true form of the tree is Youmu herself.

See, I actually really like this story too. But I think I, along with others, would be able to enjoy it more if they stopped using the biggest words possible and convoluted ways of saying simple things. Hifuu suffers from this as well.
The pacing could be better too. Not only are the first two chapters (excluding the prologue) simpler, this huge part only came now in chapter 3.

True, but at the same time these EX battle events are special so I wouldn't mind seeing brief reruns of critical characters to allow people to complete them. That's the idea of the moon and fire banners, yes, but in practice L1 characters really don't compare to SFES and ZUN friends. I wish they gave everyone a heads up that content requiring moon/fire breaks was on its way.

[Anonymous No.]

>12 fucking spooks on the way there too, what are the odds.
That's the statistical expectation, actually. A 5% chance of getting a unit each roll translates to 1 every 20 rolls. With 250 rolls you can expect 12.5 characters (250/20=12.5) or 12 characters with a 50% chance of having 13 characters instead.

>>38987091
So how is it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>38987091
If you want more consistency I'd replace Hecatia with anyone that has all-target fire breaks. I assume 5* Shion can kill Cirno just fine, so you want breaks instead. Hell, you might be able to get away with only Marisa and Shion if >>38986526 is any indication.

>>38988304
We knew about the fire one while Hecatia/Junko and Saki/Seki's banners were up, and Shion is up right now. ZUN Sakuya is nice to have, but she's hardly necessary. This one is way easier than the moon one too.

[Anonymous No.]

Just wait until they do EX Battle Metal or Earth.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38989406
Shion's LW damage is rather bad here because her first bullet is actually non-elemental, not Fire. Only Hecatia is strong enough to actually break Cirno's first gauge. I also don't believe >>38989406 as proof of concept for consistent auto until a screenshot convinced me otherwise. Consistent auto should not gamble on accuracy and/or damage variation as well as favors a lower number of turns as things will have less chance of going wrong somewhere and screwing up the run.
>>38988529
Hasn't been able to achieve 100% consistent full auto yet so I still need to find and iron out the kinks. Now I kinda wish a defeated auto-replay run would be recorded so I can study why it fails.

>>38989501
Metal would be rough. Only real options are Tenshi, ZUN Kanako, Nazrin, and B!Youmu
>>38980780
>Lack of ANY AOE spell cards really really hurts her.
I see. Reisen only has solo cards as well but unlike Youmu her breaks are extremely good. In addition to the solo problem Youmu's 1st card is completely backloaded, which fucks over her metal breaking. The other one is better with 4 water breaks @ 2P... but that leads to another problem where her last word elements are entirely different than her spellcard elements.

If your setup is relying on Marisa using her regular SCs to kill of the fairies to reload everyone's LWs then that's probably the area most prone to error since at least on my end it's on the edge.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38990013
>because her first bullet is actually non-elemental, not Fire.
I know that, but I figured 5* Shion could do as comparable amount of damage to 1* ZUN Sakuya, especially since Cirno doesn't resist no-element. Don't have her though, so I wouldn't know.
And I'm trying to recreate that screenshot, since I have ZUN Sakuya and Mechrisa. If I figure something out I'll post it here.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38990186
You're talking about this? >>38986318
That's me and it's sadly not 100% consistent, like 95% at best.
I've been mesing around with different orders or card setups but everything kinda comes back to the same point.
I will say though that 5* Heck is actually required, mainly so you can use Sakuya to help Marisa kill the fairy instead of topping off any damage an unascended Heck would do on turn 3.
I'm still trying to find something that I'm happy with

[Anonymous No.]

>>38990292
No, this one >>38986526
I feel like I'm close to just beating it, but winning in 8 turns is another question entirely. Wish I could test Cirno more instead of having to go through Dai each time.
Adding another character would make it easy, but a consistent 16 SP run is too appealing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38990364
That one seems wild.
Since your grazes get disabled the only way to survive is to break Cirno or deplete a healthbar.
Because of that I think the last few turns have to play out the same way, though maybe he squeezed more mileage out of every spellcard than I did.

[Anonymous No.]

Is there any reason to farm the stage? It took me 30 mins to beat with hecatia, rad Marisa and kasen and the auto replay is being a bitch with like 50% chance of failing

Made progress. Encountering a problem on the 7th turn where I need Sakuya to use her LW before Marisa, but Marisa outspeeds her. Can't fix it with their skills since the Charge/Quick skills are on the wrong units, and Marisa using spellcard instead turns it into a 9 turn fight. Feels like a consistent 9 turn fight, but hopefully shuffling around story cards takes it to 8.

Same story with her single-target spellcard. Inflicts 2 poison to target and breaks poison @ 1P. So Patchy's primary roll seems to be as a break machine for difficult content.

In terms of damage... she's alright https://東方ロストワード.com/?p=13382 . Really struggles when not at 3P. But she gives herself 1.75P so with any spirit power support she can hit 3P on turn 1. At 3P she does a little more than ZUN Reimu at base, but Reimu has wide-ranging slayers so she'll usually be superior. Patchy's slayers are narrow in comparison.

The interesting thing about her damage is that there's a ton of room for support. Her accuracy is not 100% vs all - a rarity these days - so she'd really appreciate some help. She's also a rare case where crit accuracy would be useful. In spite of being a destruction character her crit multiplier really isn't very high, nor are her attack buffs and she has no debuffs aside from burn, but she'll probably be breaking those the same turn she's applying them. Patching these issues up should improve her output considerably.

In sum she is a difficult content specialist. She can break 6 barriers in 2 turns regardless of elemental weakness, and she wants a bit of help in the process. It's worth noting too that all her buffs/debuffs last for 3T, which makes enhancing them with story cards easier.

Single-target last words are your friend.

Nuke Cirno down with two single-target last words from two units while a third kills one of her side fairies. The side fairies drop spell items, refreshing your last word, allowing you to defeat Cirno's three health bars in three turns of last word spam.

[Anonymous No.]

Here's the 16 SP, 8 turn clear. Takes about 2 minutes per fight.
In terms of stats, Sakuya must out-speed Marisa, so all her non-LW cards boost agility. Marisa gets a non-enhanced Rojo to avoid boosting her agility. Don't know if fully enhanced Photogenic Girls is necessary, but it worked for me. The left-most story card for both units are stat sticks: Sakuya wants agility, Marisa wants HP.

Turn 1: Sakuya 1st+2nd skill, 4th card at 2P. Marisa 1st skill, 4th card at 2P. Both use 3 graze.
Turn 2: Sakuya 3rd card at 2P. Marisa 2nd skill, 2nd card at 3P.
Turn 3: Sakuya LW at 0P to top fairy. Marisa 3rd card at 3P to bottom fairy.
Turn 4: Sakuya LW at 0P to Daiyousei. Wave ends.
Turn 5: Sakuya 1st skill, 2nd card at 2P. Marisa 4th card at 3P. Both use 1 graze.
Turn 6: Sakuya 3rd skill, LW at 2P to Cirno, Marisa 1st+2nd+3rd skill, 3rd card at 3P to top fairy.
Turn 7: Sakuya LW at 3P to Cirno, Marisa LW at 3P.
Turn 8: Sakuya 2nd skill, LW at 2P to CIrno, Marisa LW at 3P.

Notes: You don't want to do too much damage on Turn 1 or 5, or else the fairies will poison you (reduces yang atk). Turn 7 is why Sakuya needs agility: If Marisa goes first, the bottom fairy is killed early and Sakuya's LW isn't restored. Sakuya needs to save her 2nd skill until turn 8, since she loses her crit buff by then and needs the yin def down damage boost. You can try replacing her LW's card with Pizza, but I don't think it's as consistent on turn 6. Only possible failure points are if Marisa dies (she's ended the fight with low hp sometimes), and turns 2 and 7 (couldn't confirm Daiyousei and Cirno were getting overkilled).

>>38994077
Wow, great job. The low SP cost is nice, but honestly it takes so long that I'm tempted to add another unit to bring it down to 5 turns. Your phone's battery is way more valuable than virtual gacha stamina. Maybe replace Hecatia or Marisa with a strong 1* fire unit to bring your cost down a bit.

Unfortunately my comp only barely exceeds the required damage threshold so replacing any of them is not an option.
How long does each run of yours take? I'm currently running at 5 turns/2 mins and it feels like I can reach ~200 battles before exhaustion if I have all 3 2hus in school.

[Anonymous No.]

>>39002411
Yeah, Sakuya's agility is pretty high even though she has Charge and no slice scaling. Don't know the threshold to make sure she always goes first, but a ~200 difference seems to work well enough.

>>39002553
Is >>38997364 your run? Feels like you could swap Hecatia out for Mokou or Koakuma or some other fire if you take an extra turn to break Cirno's barrier. The nice thing is that Cirno doesn't reuse her solo-damage down buff on her 2nd and 3rd breaks, so Shion+Marisa's LW should finish her off if you use the extra turn to build P. Shame Shion doesn't have a P-boost skill.
And it's 8 turns/2 mins, timed from fade in to fade out. Don't know how yours is taking so long, since you have less turns.

It's because she has the piercing effect on some of her bullets which combined with her crits gives her just enough damage to win. Even then, she needs to be at 5 stars with the correct card and at around 1900 attack. The number of characters who can actually beat Red Marisa in 1 turn is extremely small. Little Reimu, Mech Marisa and Retro Youmu can do it but that's all 5 stars. Here is how much damage another one of the absolute best characters in the game does in 1 turn.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks like turn 1, and I don't think flan can hit 3P on turn 1. So her last word will have 4/6 bullet lines active and 3/4 of those are resisted by Redrisa.
How much is resistance in this game again? -50%?

Hey new friend here. How is my team looking?

[Anonymous No.]

>>39026882
Well Toyohime is probably the best overall character in the game, so that's good. It'll take you a while to max her out though. Other than that Youmu is one of the best general-pool damage dealers, Raymoo is solid with defensive support and a strong last word, Suika is still excellent, Kasen is surprisingly strong at single-target deletion after rebirth, Rin is one of the better general pool units and covers debuffing, and Medicine is there for poison breaks. Merlin can also debuff and Ran, while she's been powercrept pretty hard, can still hit reasonably hard turn 1.

Looks like a solid start to me. If I had started with that I would have been pretty pleased.

Yeah, that's the idea. You would want the really powerful units with lots of breaks like Killer Flan or Loli Junko but considering the amount of cubes you have right now you would have to save a lot (1250 cubes) and a lot of coins to be able to spark. If you don't have enough to spark there is no guarantee that you'll roll for that unit. You can also save for the regular festival units if you like. All in all just roll for who you want. Look at the stats for them and make note of any benefit they have. The game is always subject to impermanence so who knows what new OP unit they'll add in next.

>>39036416
Correct. Any unit marked as Limited on her banner cannot be obtained outside of specific banners. That includes the currently available Toyohime-alter, Yuuka, Suika, Kasen and Shion, who currently have banners available for them.

On the other hand, Rin, who is also available in the Fire banner, lacks the limited tag. She is a general pool unit who can be obtained from any banner, including the Toyohime, Yuuka and standard prayer banners. Although you won't have the increased odds of getting her that rolling on the Fire banner grants you, nor the potential of sparking her.

Seriously, if there is one thing the global version has a massive advantage in, it is grinding. EX battles for rare story cards, more free spirit and 3 times drop rate. Jap version might have more characters to pick from for grinding but global technically already has all the characters needed to farm every stage the jap version has. If you have Retro Marisa, you can even grind the absolute shit stage from the SFES Flan story without too much investment.

[Anonymous No.]

>>39029621
Cool. Yukari is a defensive tank that keeps everyone alive and has a very strong last word after rebirth. She's one of the better early characters. Yuyuko used to be the gold standard in damage but she's been powercrept really hard. Still good in most content, though. Tewi is a potent single-target debuffer.

>>39029724
>>39029621
>What would be a good team comp in your opinion?
Hitting effective elements is big in this game, so your team will be in response to enemy weaknesses. E.g. if someone is weak to fire bring people packing fire.

Other than that there are some combos you could run. You have a ton of shield restore. Yukari and Toyohime restore +2 barrier to everyone, and Reimu and Suika have +2 barrier self-restore. So you could run Yukari, Toyohime, and Reimu/Suika for a team that will literally never die. Yukari/Toyohime also work well together because Yukari has no innate attack buffs. She already does a lot of damage, but with Toyohime giving +6-9 yang attack Yukari will be hitting even harder.
You could run Tewi + Kasen for single-target deletion. No other specific comps are coming to mind right now.

As far as elemental coverage goes you have a good start. You don't really have a star breaker there so keep an eye out for one in the future.

>Any good links to what story cards to link?
https://gamepress.gg/lostword/list/story-card-tier-list
Various wikis have specific recommendations (see OP) but they get outdated pretty quickly. General flowchart for LW card is:
>Accuracy not 100%? Give accuracy card
>Accuracy good but not many attack buffs? Give yang or yin +3 card
>Good with both accuracy and attack buffs? Give a bullet class buffer (e.g. "light bullet damage +50%")

Spellcards follow the same idea but you'll also want to use Spirit Power buffing cards such as "Midnight Tea". In fact for some characters, like the aforementioned Yukari, such cards are necessary and she's really not very good without it.

Another way to look at cards is to consider the inverse: what is NOT useful? Anything that only decreases damage taken is 100% trash. "Spirit power collection rate" is also bad (you want Spirit Power x.xx UP. Not the same thing). Increasing damage is the name of the game here. If a card doesn't do that in some way it's probably not worth your time.

Not spell-checking this. Hopefully not too dyslexic.

That's because the card was never meant to be the prize for a high-difficulty challenge in JP. Global is not JP. They can and will do their own things. Then again, I'm talking outta my ass and they may still add the card to the general pool down the line but right now I'm inclined to believe that they won't do so.

>>39053317
I am pretty sure it will end up in the general pool eventually. All the character specific best cards that were on limited banners went to the general pool eventually. Also, while I am farming the EX stage, I really don't care if I get to MLB a card that is just marginally better than the previous event card that I managed to MLB plenty off.

[Anonymous No.]

>>39061627
Yup.

>>39056493
Aaand B!Youmu/Redrisa have once again switched tiers. EoSD!Sakuya is back down with her friends, Keiki gets promoted, and iirc I think Heck dropped one. Looks like they're fiddling with their algorithm. Guessing that single-target LWs got a bit of a nerf, which is probably the correct move. Sakuya felt a bit high.

These kinds of tier lists can be finicky, but at least they're trying to make it reflect objective reality.

>>39064959
Funnily enough Satori is pretty good on this EX stage. 3 breaks for 2P is pretty great. Shame her entire skillset is dedicated to reducing enemy offense.

It's 2 levels of CRIT ATK up for the whole party for 2 turns on a card, which makes it as good as the best skill on various 2hus. While not meta-defining, I think that splashability is highly valuable.

[Anonymous No.]

>>39064959
I got Jo'on day one and took her even though I don't particularly like her. In the first forever prayer I passed on a character I would've been okay with day one in hopes of getting someone that wasn't useless, and nearly came out with nothing to show for it. After that I decided I'd keep the first Fes character I got and didn't already have no matter how I felt about them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>39066560
Her skills are arguably the best in the game, to the point that she can breathe new life into older characters. Being able to max out party yang attack over 2 turns is not a trivial thing. Yang attack +0 -> +10 is akin to giving a character a 4x multiplier.

So she's useful even if you don't max limit break her, but of course she's better if you do:

Her last word does good moon and water damage even with a sub-optimal story card (there's no liquid +50% right now) and it's mid-loaded so she can use it turn 1 without much loss of damage. Her single-target spellcard both inflicts poison and breaks it so she gets 2 auto-breaks on the entire cast. She hits those weak to water/moon really hard with this one and can full break in 1 turn vs some. Her all-target spellcard does damage comparable to ZUN Reimu's which is the gold standard in spellcard damage these days. It has good slayers so it'll crit vs most the cast. It's also mid-loaded so it'll put in work at 2P.

Her only shortcoming is the rainbow elemental spread on her all-target spellcard. It's generally seen as better to focus on breaking a lot of a specific element than it is to break everything a little bit. But it's not that bad of a weakness. She also doesn't buff crit damage any in spite of having good slayers, so support from a character like her sister would be appreciated. Lastly while her damage is good it's not up there with the top damage dealers. But she's still better than most the cast.

>or should i dump more cubes for extra copies?
Do you want to use her just to support or to also deal water/moon damage? Do you want more cubes or more divine dolls? Apparently we're getting 1 divine doll per month now, so they're not as uncommon as they used to be. If you're new you might want to prioritize cubes so you can expand your roster faster. You'll be able to MLB your SFES units eventually (4 months max assuming this continues). Up to you though. If you want to MLB ASAP then roll for dupes.

>>39067119
>It's 2 levels of CRIT ATK up for the whole party
oh shit I didn't even notice. That's pretty cool. Pizza on attacker + Hecatia card on a support would mean 4 crit atk up for 3 turns. Nice.

Well, EX battles are more like mini events than anything else. After all, the card we are talking about was recently added to the JP general pool.

This event is more about getting the possible privilege to use such a strong card much earlier than everyone else.
